Title: MtGox broken? Or I don't know how to use bitcoin?
Post by: hello_good_sir on June 04, 2011, 03:15:57 PM
Hi, about a month ago I bought some bitcoins on MtGox.  I have decided to move my coins to my computer.  I installed the bitcoin client from bitcoin.org and looked at my address.  I then went to MtGox and initiated a test withdrawal.  Shortly thereafter I had one fewer bitcoin on MtGox.  I have been hoping for that bitcoin to show up on the bitcoin client but it has not.  It has been over 24 hours.  I have checked my MtGox history and it says that they sent me a bitcoin.  It shows the address that they sent it to, which is the same that I am receiving to.  Is MtGox broken?

Your client needs to download the blockchain before you'll see anything (currently 128589 blocks).
If the number of blocks is not increasing try forwarding port 8333, 5 connections sounds like you haven't.

The above posted is correct.
According to block explorer, your 1 BTC has been confirmed, and should show up once you have the block chain.

Thank you very much.  I actually had a hunch that that might be the case but after so many hours I assumed that I would have the block chain by now, and then I forgot about my theory.  My block count is increasing and it looks like I am at about 94%.  So at that rate it should be an hour or so.  Thanks both of you!
